Is this a contender for freestyle of the year? The Last MJ from the Dont Quote Me breaks down his viral "Red Rose White Ceiling" verse that has people calling him one of the most bar-heavy lyricists from the South

Should influencers and popular people on the internet be embarrassed of having regular jobs? I told a story about how I delivered a Door Dash to DJ Drama then decided to quit right after. The pod says hip hop logic is backwards because if I was selling weed I would be a hero, but I have to be embarrassed to hand someone chicken wings. Is ego killing us or was I justified? @JarrenBenton @DJDRAMA

I hate seeing good talent miss the mark because of preparation DISCIPLINE is KEY 🔑 Most of the successful rappers in battle rap ain’t only there bc of talent They know how to be disciplined Write when they don’t feel like it Rehearse when they tired Etc. LOCK TF IN 🔒

Rapper Rain910 tells a story about doing a freestyle as a favor for Don Cannon in the early 2000s when he didn't know who he was. After Cannon blew up, he hosted two of Rain's mixtapes for free and the moment came full circle. We need more people in the industry to keep their word! Salute @Rain910 @DonCannon 🫡

There's footage of them both battling at like 15. I was watching all of that back in the day
Illmac vs Tay Roc in 2026 is so crazy because Illmac is the kid who won Scribble Jam at 17 years old in 2004 and Tay Roc is the 18 year old kid that battled Charlie Clips on Sub-0 DVD and sparked a whole new era in 2008. Literal pioneers clashing 20 years in. Legendary.

There are multiple black owned restaurants in most US cities, the ones owned by celebrities usually have more visibility. As a black man if I feel like the food isn't that good and want to redirect the people to a underappreciated black owned restaurant, why cant I?
Y’all listened to 2 Chainz delivery but missed what he’s trying to say Don’t go to black owned business to shit on them why go to mom & pop shops to use your influence to crumble their hard work All these corporations & franchises that own everything out there .. but yall bring that BS to black owned People blindly trust food reviewers .. their influence can destroy someone’s hard work within seconds Complaining about “celebrity treatment” when they do that EVERYWHERE.. not just Atlanta So why spotlight it where black business thrive?? Just to make them look bad. Smh He did the same shit to Oakland

After the 2 Chainz and Keith Lee debate, the DQM Pod pushed back against food influencers and said their opinions aren't always right, but people decide to blindly trust them. Do you think food influencers are good or bad for the restaurant industry?

You know what's funny... Every time we go viral PC always asks why ppl in the comments say "take their mics away" 6 of us sitting there, ppl driving a point and everyone else arguing, but take all of our mics? 😂 The point of a debate is not agreeing right?

Every time we go viral there are 1000 ppl in the comments saying "Take their mics away!" But its usually only one person making a statement and at least 3 people not agreeing. We all aren't to blame 😂 So let me ask... whose mic on the DQM Pod actually needs to be taken?

I’m glad they had this convo. Eating at a restaurant is literally trusting an outside source with your health. Every restaurant owner should be held to a high standard. I’m glad the food reviewers exist, but the general public shouldn’t blindly trust everyone with a phone.
2 Chainz got into a DEBATE with Keith Lee after bringing up the BAD REVIEW Keith gave his restaurant, suggest keith lee stick to subway for diet😳

Question for my Ozone brothers and sisters: If DQM does an Ozone Cypher how many of y'all will pull up for it? I know everyone isn't on the same page, but id like to organize it as a gesture scene that made me. I grew up with literally some of the best rappers in the world! Love y'all
